And I Thought It Was Just Bonfire Night

Current mood: distressed

Just remembered I didn't even mention the elections in my blog a minute ago - that's how caught up in my own life I am! But that isn't really what I'm talking about even now. After all, nobody wants to hear someone in England talking about the US elections, right?

So apart from my wealth of useless knowledge, this blog is really just an announcement that I shall be x-posting my blogs to LJ and Facebook from now on. That way all my friends who don't use Myspace for various reasons will be able to read about my dull life should they choose to. Oh, and I'll make that quite clear - I don't expect anyone to read these, so if you don't want to, DON'T! Don't read them and then complain that you just wasted five minutes of your life doing so.

So what news do I have, apart from all the Sickton palava, mentioned in my last blog here on Myspace?

Well, I've been trying to photograph my pony collection before they get packed up for the non-existant house move, and they are now being uploaded here and on Facebook. LJ users can see them on Photobucket (username Ponyrescuehome).

And I've been messing around with my microphone, trying to figure out the best way to record without too many pops. I'd be very grateful it if any of you would take a few minutes to listen to these two MLP recordings and see what you think. Thank you.

I Know Just How You Feel
(I thought this one was pretty good for my standards, but there are a lot of pops and puffs etc. This was my first proper recording with the mic though, so that's my excuse!)

What Are We Gonna Do Today?
(This one is a lot better as far as background noise, right? It's just the singing and voices that are rubbish this time! I swear that I'll make a recording that sounds decent in every way...someday!)

Ooh, and I have a question for all you computer experts. I just popped a DVD into the disk drive, and although I'm hearing all the right whirring noises, I don't get the message in the centre of the screen to ask if I want to play it etc. And when I go to select it under "All Programs", the disk drive isn't even showing up... I'm not sure if that makes sense or not, but hopefully someone knows what I'm talking about. It just seems weird. I know it's not a faulty DVD because I have played it several times before. :-/

About Me

Hi, my name's Desirée Skylark. I’m a 24-year-old daydreamer, stranded in the UK but hoping someday to move to Vancouver. I would love to be a professional actress, specialising in voice overs in animation and commercials, and in musical theatre... did I mention that I like daydreaming?
I am the proud owner of a large herd of My Little Ponies – some people might laugh, but they help me to de-stress and take me back to my happier childhood days! I’m also a coin operated ride enthusiast – I have over 1600 photos of them from when I was small! Almost ALL of these rides have now been scrapped so I’m trying to put together a website about them and the people who made them. It’s quite fascinating to discover their history!
The last few years of my life have been an utter nightmare (read my older blog entries for the full details), and I have been left with no education or chance to achieve my full potential as far as finding a job goes. I do hope now that we have finally moved house that I will be able to start getting my life back on track, but it’s going to be hard. Join me on my blogging journey – can I turn this into a real life Cinderella story with a happy ending?
